Panner.AspNetCore VS Sieve

Here's the source and info about the library. It works much like a LINQ extension, allowing you to apply CSV filters and sorts directly to your set/collection, and there are also some custom model binders provided so it's very easy to use.

The short answer is no. I've developed my own filtering / sorting library a long time ago just as a fun side project so I've looked around and I don't think there is ANYTHING that comes close to following the Microsoft API Guidelines.

Biarity/Sieve: ⚗️ Clean & extensible Sorting, Filtering, and Pagination for ASP.NET Core (github.com)

I´m trying out Sieve and the rip my app to pieces and use that instead.

Similar to Sieve

https://github.com/Biarity/Sieve Sieve is a simple, clean, and extensible framework for .NET Core that adds sorting, filtering, and pagination functionality out of the box. Most common use case would be for serving ASP.NET Core GET queries.

If you're looking for a library for a REST API, there really aren't very many good ones. I used Sieve as a starting point to write my own because it didn't support the filtering syntax I was required to use. I would definitely not recommend a new person write their own, however.

I also looked at Sieve: https://github.com/Biarity/Sieve but I'm not sure it is 100% hitting what I am wanting. Unless I am just a bork at the end of my day unable to read properly. Any direction in the right area would greatly be appreciated!

For complex queries like this, you don't have a ton of choices. You could use Sieve (https://github.com/Biarity/Sieve) in lieu of your current implementation. I use it specifically in situations to handle filtering/paging/sorting, not as a general way to access data. Most of the time I write an underlying DB view and hook that up to a keyless entity and allow Sieve to do the actual filtering.
